System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: solar-ai

1. Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for solar-ai, an AI-powered application designed to help beginner YouTube creators in the fitness niche generate high-quality content tailored for a USA audience. The application aims to empower creators with tools for trend research, script generation, video planning, thumbnail creation, automation, and monetization ideas. The ultimate goal is to assist users in reaching 10K+ views per video by providing a streamlined, AI-driven content creation process.

This document has been prepared for Shshnd, based in India, and considers locale-specific defaults where applicable.

2. System Overview

solar-ai is a SaaS platform that leverages AI to simplify and enhance the content creation process for beginner YouTubers. The system will include the following core modules:

2. Script Generator: Generate engaging scripts for both YouTube shorts and long-form videos, with a focus on American audiences and emotional storytelling.
3. Video Generator: Suggest scenes, provide AI-generated voiceovers, and recommend visuals for video production.

6. Signature Design Concept

"Interactive Solar Dashboard"

The homepage of solar-ai will feature an interactive solar system metaphor. Each module (Trend Research, Script Generator, etc.) will be represented as a planet orbiting around a central "sun" (the user’s dashboard).

• Visuals:

  • The background will feature a dynamic, animated galaxy with subtle twinkling stars.
  • Planets will have unique designs and animations (e.g., glowing, rotating).
  • Hovering over a planet will display a tooltip with a brief description of the module.

• Interactions:

  • Clicking on a planet will "zoom in" to reveal the module’s interface.
  • Smooth transitions and micro-interactions will enhance the user experience.

• Color Shifts:

  • The galaxy’s colors will subtly shift based on the time of day (e.g., warm tones in the morning, cool tones at night).

This concept will make the platform visually unforgettable and engaging, creating a sense of exploration and discovery for users.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• The system should support at least 10,000 concurrent users.
• The response time for AI-generated outputs should not exceed 5 seconds.
